Eco Mesh Banner – 100% Recyclable

Eco Mesh Banner is a 230gsm PVC-free mesh banner material. The material is 53% PES (polyester) and 47% resin, therefore PVC Free and more environmentally friendly than traditional mesh. With high tensile and tear strengths, this material is really tough! Ideal for any outdoor application where wind is an issue and ecological approval is required. Product is recyclable under code nr. 1 (PET)

Strong, yet lets wind through

Eco Mesh banner material is much lighter in weight than a traditional front-light banner. Winds of 30mph+ will damage regular banners, hems and eyelets may be ripped out. Remember that a large non-mesh banner acts as a giant sail. Gusts of wind can quickly destroy a banner. Bigger non-mesh banners are excellent as long as they are installed against a solid surface or within a fixed wall-mounted tension-frame system.

Lower cost

The initial cost of an Eco Mesh banner or a standard Eco banner is relatively the same. Due to a lower wind resistance factor, Eco Mesh Banners last longer outdoors. Lowering the impact of the wind can make Eco Mesh banners cheaper in the long run.

Eco Mesh banner material contains thousands of tiny holes to decrease wind resistance.

Why use an Eco Mesh Banner?

  • Lighter and easier to fit
  • Allows air to pass through
  • Reduces wind loading on fences, cafe barriers and scaffolding
  • Acoustically transparent for use over concert speakers
  • Hardwearing and scuff resistant
  • Ideal as a scaffolding banner
  • Suitable as a Building Wrap
  • Weather resistant, fade resistant

Where to use Eco Mesh Banner

  • Fence covers and banners – Mesh reduces wind loading on the fence structure.
  • Building Wraps – Mesh is lighter and less wind-resistant for use high up on scaffolding.
  • Tennis Courts – Mesh provides some wind protection and fantastic advertising opportunities.
  • Concert Speakers – Eco Mesh is more acoustically transparent, offering an excellent solution for covering speaker stacks.

Alternatives to Eco Mesh Banner

We offer a full banner printing service onto a range of mesh banner materials. Here are some alternatives for you to consider.

PVC AirMesh Banner

This fabric mesh banner is an even lighter material with bigger holes, resulting in more airflow being able to pass through the material. Typically used for higher, more exposed locations where wind loading will be an issue.

AirMesh Flag 115gsm

At only 115gsm, AirMesh Flag is our lightest mesh fabric. Also PVC-free. As a polyester-based fabric, it is also much more eco-friendly than PVC products. Acoustically transparent, this mesh fabric banner material is ideal as speaker scrim.

Express Mesh Banner

Ideal for smaller mesh banners required very quickly. Printed on our smaller machines and limited in size to 1.25m in one dimension.

Artwork Quality Checks

In-house pre-press experts will quality-check your artwork before sending to print. Sizing or image resolution issues will be referred back to you before we proceed.

Fitting Eco Mesh Banners

A professional survey of your intended installation site is advisable for any outdoor banners over 25 square metres in size. A surveyor will calculate wind-loading on the structure and advise on the fixings necessary.
Giant Mesh Banners such as Building Wraps are usually installed in sections, straight onto scaffolding using Bungee Shock Cord. Your scaffolder should ensure that no pole ends are projecting that they may damage your banner.
Without scaffolding, large mesh banners can also be installed using a wire cable frame and a criss-cross effect of bungee rope. This method allows, even more, give when the wind hits the mesh banner and ensures a secure and long-lasting installation.

Finishing Mesh Banners

As standard, we hem and eyelet our Mesh Banners all round with metal eyelets. We can add pockets to slide poles through if required at no extra cost; please specify the pole diameter in your order notes. Larger mesh banners can have reinforced hems at a slight additional cost.

Why choose Hems and Eyelets on a Mesh Banner?

Hem and Eyelets are the most popular finishing method. We can add more eyeholes if required. If you need additional eyelets adding, then please enter this information into the ‘Additional Information’ box when ordering.

How can I attach my mesh banner to a wall?

We can finish the banner with hem and eyelets. You can then screw your banner to the wall or cladding using large washers and screws.

As an option, you can select Heavy Duty Hems and Eyelets, recommended if your mesh banner is over 20 square metres in size.

Applications that might require a hem and eyelets include:

  • Walls (screw into the brick using wide-head screws and penny washers).
  • Fences/railings, attached using zip ties.
  • Scaffolding (Zip ties or bungee cord).
  • Metal cladding (tech bolts and penny washers).

Why do I need Pole Pockets?

We can manufacture your mesh PVC banner with pole pockets if required. Pole pockets allow the banner to slide over a pole or cable. Pole pockets can be produced to any size you needed. As well as a pole pocket, we can add additional eyelets if required.
A pocket for a pole can be used to slide in a weighted bar or dowel. In some instances, a broom handle or similar can be placed inside the bottom, acting as a weight to tension the banner. Weighting creates a more rigid appearance and is less likely to move around.

Applications that might require a pole pocket include:

  • Scaffolding.
  • Rigging or stage sets.
  • Where a cable or tensioned rope is required.
  • Lamppost banner brackets.
  • Projecting banner brackets.
  • To add tension by adding a weighted dowel or rod to the bottom pocket for hanging internally.

Check our Guide to Pole Pockets on Banners.

Design Guide for Mesh Banners

Your Eco mesh banners are printed from your print-ready artwork. Call for assistance if you require your banners to be designed or laid up.

Set your dimensions correctly

Set your artwork to the correct proportions of your final printed mesh banner. We do not require any bleed on the artwork for a printed mesh. If necessary, you can set your artwork to scale.

Set the correct CMYK colour settings

Make sure that you set your colour settings to CMYK. Our mesh banner printers use a full-colour solvent printing process which works using a CMYK Process. Files that are sent to use using an RGB setup will be changed automatically. Sometimes this can make the colours on your mesh printed banner seem weak & washed out. We will check for this before printing and contact you if required.

The positioning of eyelets on your Printed Mesh Banners

Please leave a clear area of approx 50mm inside the outside edge of the banner. Background colour/images are not a problem. The eyelets can obscure items to close to the perimeter. Do not place relevant text, design elements, small print or logos to near the edge of the banner. Around our mesh banners, we will add hem and eyelets unless otherwise stated. It is not advised to have just eye holes (without the hem) as this can cause the material to rip.
We space our eyelets approx every 500mm apart unless otherwise stated. We evenly space the eyelets. Gaps will vary slightly on different sizes of banners.

Pole Pockets on Mesh Banners

We can finish your mesh banners with pole pockets if required. Standard scaffold tubes need a 150mm flat pocket size to fit comfortably with plenty of space as to not cause to much tension on the pocket seam. Leave clear area at the top and the bottom of the banners to allow for the pockets. If your banner is 2m height, please set to 2m height and then make sure that no text, logos and important info enters the top 150mm or bottom 150mm of the design area. Solid colour/ background images or patterns are perfect, just not text or vital information. Check here for more information on pole pockets and how to design for them.

Mesh Banner Design Principles

It is important to consider viewing distances. Always create your artwork to give the highest possible impact on a mesh banner. Contrasting colours will give your banner much more bang than washed out subtle colours.
Also, think about text sizes. Text is easier to read from a distance if it is sizable. Use upper and lower fonts. Look at road signs as they are all in upper and lower type rather than all capitals. Subconsciously your eyes will read upper and lower (sentence case).

Include the Recycling Logo!

Be sure to use the correct Plastic Recycling logo in your design so that when the banner comes to the end of it’s life, whoever disposes of it will know to recycle it. You can download the logos here.

Font type.

Usually, clearer fonts work better than stripy, script or unreadable fonts. Look at most leading brands, i.e. McDonald’s, IKEA, B&Q, Dominos Pizza – all these companies use very readable fonts and typefaces.
Less is more, cramming every little bit of information onto your mesh banner probably isn’t a good idea. Remember to use areas of space and give your design space to breathe. The best mesh banner designs are always simple and straight to the point.

Frequently Asked Questions »

What's the maximum size eco mesh banner you can print?

Our machines print on rolls up to 3.2 metres in width.  So as long as your smallest dimension is within 3.2m this product is suitable. i.e you could have a banner 30m x 3.2m

Can you make larger banners by joining two pieces together?

This product can’t be joined together.

Why should I choose an Eco Mesh Banner?

Mesh material allows wind to pass through it. If your banner is going to be placed in an exposed location, you should use Mesh. This reduces the wind-loading on the structure you install it on.

What type of eyelets do you use?

All banners are eyeleted using nickel plated silver eyelets which have a 12mm hole. All banners which specify hem and eyelets are eyeleted every 500mm. Eyelets are evenly spaced across the length and width of the banner so gaps will be as near to 500mm as possible. If you require more eyelets or require them in certain positions, please add this into your order notes.

What are pole pockets?

We can finish your mesh banner with pole pockets if required, We can make the pocket any size you require.

How are the pockets finished?

We add the extra print onto the material to allow for folding over to create a loop. This is then stitched to create the pole pocket.

Can I have a reinforced hem?

Because the eco banner can’t have a welded hem like the PVC banners our Eco banners have reinforcing as standard.  This is stitched onto the edges of the banner.

Are these banners made from recycled plastics?

They are not made from recycled plastics but they are made from plastics that are more eco friendly than PVC.

Can they be recycled once we have finished with them?

Yes they can be recycled.  We also have a blog that shows how you could recycle a PVC banner too. These methods could also apply to the ECO banners for those who are creative.

Can this material be printed on both sides?

No. This is a single sided printed only. The reverse side will be white in colour.

I want to order x6 banners but would like you to print x1 of each design. Is this possible?

Yes of course. Upload all your files, then in the additional information box let us know the breakdown of quantities.

How long is delivery?

Eco Mesh Banners will be with you in 5-6 working days from order and approval of artwork.

Can you colour match?

Our print process is CMYK with a high degree of colour-matching. Our machines are highly calibrated to accurately reproduce the information in CMYK print files. Call us if you need to match to specific corporate branding or Pantone colours.

Is the material flame retardant?

Yes. Our Eco Mesh is flame retardant to B1 specification.

Do you have any wind load specification?

Eco Mesh has an air permeability of 3000 l/m2 per second.  We do have technical data sheets available to download on request

If at any point we have a question or a problem with your order you will be contacted before manufacturing.

Our processes

Please read the information below on how your order is processed. Each order goes through several checks before printing. Our file checking service is standard procedure on all orders.
